Economic inactivity: welfare and long-term sickness Oral evidence live 3pm 12/11/24

Thank you Cath

I'm going to just watch the video link see how it goes 💕 💕 💕

I will say that I do try and look at things from all angles (I may refer to the dwp as s***ns office in private but I do hold sympathetic of trying to get the welfare bill under control……as long as cruel methods aren’t used to address it)

If you ever watched the dwp committee meeting when Coffey and stride were in charge and compare them to this video alone (ignoring things like the hospital mental health patients and work coach loss of sanity/empathy idea, etc…) Kendall come across as a massive improvement imo (if she was being honest)

I watched it today too and actually feel more positive about things. The rhetoric was very different to what I’ve come to expect.

They seem to understand that people really are sick/disabled and aren’t just skiving. They spoke about us as real people and genuinely seemed to want to do the best for us and tackle the barriers we face. Emphasis was on support rather than blame

yea thats the vibe i got aswell
